EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions which are the subject of the business of the Meeting.
1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
In accordance with clause 9.5 of the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report.
The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at www.painchek.com
2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT
2.1 General
Section 249L(2) of the Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, section 250R(3) expressly provides that such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
The remuneration report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The remuneration report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2019.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.
2.2 Voting consequences
Under Part 2G.2, Division 9 of the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on a remuneration report resolution are voted against adoption of the remuneration report in two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ) at the second annual general meeting.
If more than 50% of shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the company must convene the extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the second annual general meeting.
All of the directors of the company who were in office when the directors' report (as included in the Company’s annual financial report for the financial year ended immediately before the second annual general meeting) was approved, other than the managing director of the company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting.
10
Doc ID 674446903/v1
Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors of the company is approved will be the directors of the company.
At the Company’s previous annual general meeting the votes cast against the remuneration report considered at that annual general meeting were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this Annual General Meeting.
2.3 Proxy Restrictions
Shareholders appointing a proxy for Resolution 1 should note the following:
2.3.1 If you appoint a member of the Key Management Personnel as your proxy
If you elect to appoint a member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of that member, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote . Undirected proxies granted to these persons will not be included in any vote on Resolution 1.
2.3.2 If you appoint the Chair as your proxy
If you elect to appoint the Chair as your proxy, you do not need to direct the Chair how you wish them to exercise your vote on Resolution 1.
By signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair’s intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.
2.3.3 If you appoint any other person as your proxy
You do not need to direct your proxy how to vote.
2.4 Directors' recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report.
3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – ADAM DAVEY
ASX Listing Rule 14.4 and clause 11.3 of the Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third, shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.
Clause 11.5 of the Constitution provides that the Director to retire at an annual general meeting is the director who has been longest in office since their last election. Clause 11.4 of the Constitution provides that a Director who retires by rotation under clause 11.3 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.
The Company currently has 4 Directors (including 1 Managing Director) and accordingly 1 must retire.
11
Doc ID 674446903/v1
Mr Adam Davey, the Director longest in office since his last election, retires by rotation and seeks re-election.
Mr Davey’s expertise spans over 25 years and includes capital raising (both private and public), mergers and acquisition, ASX listings, asset sales and purchases, transaction due diligence and director duties. Mr Davey is a Director of Wealth Management at Patersons Securities. Mr Davey has been involved in significantly growing businesses in both the industrial and mining sector. This has been achieved through holding various roles within different organisations, including chairman, managing director, non-executive director, major shareholder and corporate adviser to the board.
4. RESOLUTION 3 – APPROVAL OF 10% PLACEMENT CAPACITY – SHARES
4.1 General
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A provides that an Eligible Entity as defined in section 4.2 below, may seek Shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to allow it to issue equity securities up to 10% of its issued capital at the time of the issue over a period up to 12 months after the annual general meeting ( 10% Placement Capacity ).
The Company is an Eligible Entity.
If Shareholders approve Resolution 3, the number of equity securities the Eligible Entity may issue under the 10% Placement Capacity will be determined in accordance with the formula prescribed in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 (as set out in Section 4.2 below).
The effect of Resolution 3 will be to allow the Directors to issue equity securities up to 10% of the Company’s fully paid ordinary securities on issue at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity during the period up to 12 months after the Meeting, without subsequent Shareholder approval and without using the Company’s 15% annual placement capacity granted under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.4 provides that if and when the Company utilises the 10% Placement Capacity within the 12 months following the AGM, assuming Resolution 3 is passed, the Company will be required to give ASX details of who will be issued the equity securities and how many equity securities they each received. In addition, the Company will be required to release by way of ASX announcement the information set out in ASX Listing Rule 3.10.5A, namely:
-
(a) details about the dilution to the existing Shareholders caused by the issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity;
-
(b) if cash is raised, an explanation why a pro rata issue or other type of issue allowing existing shareholders to participate was not adopted instead of or as well as using the 10% Placement Capacity;
-
(c) details about any underwriting and underwriting fees paid; and
-
(d) details about any other fees or costs incurred in connection with the issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity.
12
Doc ID 674446903/v1
The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 3 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
Resolution 3 is a special resolution. Accordingly, at least 75% of votes cast by Shareholders present and eligible to vote at the Meeting must be in favour of Resolution 3 for it to be passed.
4.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1A came into effect on 1 August 2012 and enables an Eligible Entity to seek shareholder approval at its annual general meeting to issue equity securities in addition to those under the Eligible Entity’s 15% annual placement capacity.
An Eligible Entity is one that, as at the date of the relevant annual general meeting:
-
(a) is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index; and
-
(b) has a maximum market capitalisation (excluding restricted securities and securities quoted on a deferred settlement basis) of $300,000,000.
The Company is an Eligible Entity as it is not included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index and has a current market capitalisation of approximately $274 million.
Any equity securities issued must be in the same class as an existing class of quoted equity securities. The Company currently has one class of equity securities on issue, being the Shares (ASX Code: PCK).
The exact number of equity securities that the Company may issue under an approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A will be calculated according to the following formula:
(A x D) – E
A is the number of Shares on issue 12 months before the date of issue or agreement:
- (A) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2;
(B) plus the number of partly paid shares that became fully paid in the previous 12 months;
-
(C) plus the number of Shares issued in the previous 12 months with approval of holders of Shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4; and
-
(D) less the number of Shares cancelled in the previous 12 months.
D
is 10%.
E is the number of equity securities issued or agreed to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.2 in the 12 months before the date of issue or agreement to issue that are not issued with the approval of holders of ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.4.
13
Doc ID 674446903/v1
4.3 Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3A, the information below is provided in relation to this Resolution 3:
(a) Minimum Price
The minimum price at which the equity securities may be issued is 75% of the volume weighted average price of equity securities in that class, calculated over the 15 ASX trading days on which trades in that class were recorded immediately before:
-
(i) the date on which the price at which the equity securities are to be issued is agreed; or
-
(ii) if the equity securities are not issued within 5 ASX trading days of the date in Section 4.3(a)(i), the date on which the equity securities are issued.
(b) Date of Issue
The equity securities may be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity commencing on the date of the Meeting and expiring on the first to occur of the following:
-
(ii) 12 months after the date of this Meeting; and
-
(iii) the date of approval by Shareholders of any transaction under ASX Listing Rules 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of the Company’s activities) or 11.2 (disposal of the Company’s main undertaking).
(c)
Risk of economic and voting dilution
Any issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will dilute the interests of Shareholders who do not receive any Shares under the issue.
If Resolution 3 is approved by Shareholders and the Company issues the maximum number of equity securities available under the 10% Placement Capacity, the economic and voting dilution of existing Shares would be as shown in the table below.
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders calculated in accordance with the formula outlined in ASX Listing Rule 7.1A(2), on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of equity securities on issue as at the date of this Notice.
The table also shows the voting dilution impact where the number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) changes and the economic dilution where there are changes in the issue price of Shares issued under the 10% Placement Capacity.

* The number of Shares on issue (variable A in the formula) could increase as a result of the issue of Shares that do not require Shareholder approval (such as under a pro-rata rights issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or that are issued with Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
The table above uses the following assumptions:
1. the current shares on issue are the Shares on issue as at 27 September 2019;
-
the issue price set out above is the closing price of the Shares on the ASX on 27 September 2019;
-
the Company issues the maximum possible number of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity;
-
the Company has not issued any equity securities in the 12 months prior to the Meeting that were not issued under an exception in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;
-
the calculations above do not show the dilution that any one particular Shareholder will be subject to. All Shareholders should consider the dilution caused to their own shareholding depending on their specific circumstances;
-
this table does not set out any dilution pursuant to approvals under ASX Listing Rule 7.1;
Shareholders should note that there is a risk that:
-
(i) the market price for the Company’s Shares may be significantly lower on the issue date than on the date of the Meeting; and
-
(ii) the Shares may be issued at a price that is at a discount to the market price for those Shares on the date of issue.

(d) Purpose of Issue under 10% Placement Capacity
The Company may issue equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity for the following purposes:
-
(i) as cash consideration in which case the Company intends to use funds raised for general working capital and business expansion; or
-
(ii) as non-cash consideration for the acquisition of new assets and investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.3.
(e) Allocation policy under the 10% Placement Capacity
The Company’s allocation policy for the issue of equity securities under the 10% Placement Capacity will be dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of the proposed placement(s).
The person being issued the equity securities which is yet to be issued under the 10% Placement Capacity have not yet been determined. However, the person being issued the equity securities could consist of current Shareholders or new investors (or both), none of whom will be related parties of the Company.
The Company will determine the person to be issued the equity securities at the time of the issue under the 10% Placement Capacity, having regard to the following factors:
-
(i) the purpose of the issue;
-
(ii) alternative methods for raising funds available to the Company at that time, including, but not limited to, an entitlement issue or other offer where existing Shareholders may participate;
-
(iii) the effect of the issue of the equity securities on the control of the Company;
-
(iv) the circumstances of the Company, including, but not limited to, the financial position and solvency of the Company;
-
(v) prevailing market conditions; and
-
(vi) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).

6. RESOLUTIONS 5 TO 7 – APPROVAL OF NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR PERFORMANCE RIGHTS
6.1 General
In August 2019, the Company commissioned a review of its director remuneration from an independent remuneration consultant to benchmark current director remuneration to comparable companies. The report recommended that the Company’s non-executive director remuneration be supplemented with the following annual grant of Performance Rights for the financial years ended 30 June 2019, 2020 and 2021:
| Director | Current Fee | New Performance Rights |
**Total New Remuneration ** | % Increase |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| John Murray | 80,000 $ |
40,000 $ |

The median total statutory remuneration of $120,000 for the Chairman represents 120% of the median total statutory remuneration of $100,000 benchmark in the
27
Doc ID 674446903/v1
Health and IT sector for companies with a market capitalisation of between $50 million and $200 million.
The median total statutory remuneration of $60,000 for a non-executive director represents 99% of the median total statutory remuneration of $60,857 benchmark in the Health and IT sector for companies with a market capitalisation of between $50 million and $200 million. Subject to Shareholder approval, the Performance Rights are to be issued according to the following principles and terms:
-
(a) each non-executive director will in each end of financial year on 30 June 2020, 2021 and 2022 receive 1/3 of their total annual remuneration in Performance Rights subject to shareholder approval;
-
(b) the number of Performance Rights issued for a year will be calculated based on the VWAP of the Company’s ordinary shares calculated 5 days either side of and including the date of announcement of the company’s annual statutory results for the financial year;
-
(c) Performance Rights will vest at 30 June each subsequent year - being the end of the financial year subject to the director remaining a director of the Company at that date;
-
(d) each Performance Right has the conditional right to acquire one Share;
-
(e) the Performance rights are issued for Nil consideration;
-
(f) the Performance Rights expire 3 months after the vesting date;
-
(g) the Performance Rights are subject to the terms and conditions of the LTI Plan; and

6.2 Calculation of the Number of Performance Rights
As noted in section 6.1 above, the number of Performance Rights to be issued to the non-executive Directors each year will depend on the VWAP of the Company’s ordinary shares calculated 5 days either side of and including the date of announcement of the company’s annual statutory results for the financial year preceding the financial year of the grant of the Performance Rights.

6.3 Long Term Incentive Plan
The LTI Plan provides for the issuance of Performance Rights or Options ( Awards ) to directors, full-time and part-time employees as well as consultants and contractors of the Company and its subsidiaries. The form and implementation of the LTI Plan was approved by the Board on 27 August 2015 and by the company’s Shareholders at the annual general meeting on 7 October 2015 and subsequently at the annual general meeting on 20 November 2018.
The key features of the LTI Plan are as follows:
-
(a) the Board may offer Awards under the LTI Plan to full-time or part-time employees, directors, consultants and/or contractors of any member of the Company’s group (being the Company and its subsidiaries) (a holder of securities under the LTI Plan being a participant);
-
(b) each Award represents a conditional right to be issued or transferred one or more Shares;
-
(c) there is no fee payable by the participant on the grant of the Awards;
31
Doc ID 674446903/v1
-
(d) an Award may only be exercised when the vesting conditions, as determined by the Board, attaching to that Award have been satisfied or waived and a vesting notice has been provided to the plan participant.
-
(e) the Award exercise price will be determined by the Board at the time it resolves to grant Awards under the LTI Plan, having regard to such matters that the board considers appropriate;
-
(f) a participant may, if provided by the terms of the Award, and at their election, exercise their vested Awards by choosing to receive (in Shares) only the positive difference between the exercise price and the Company’s share price at exercise, determined by using a volume weighted average price over the 10 trading days immediately preceding the exercise date. This mechanism will not change the fundamental entitlement of participants nor does it result in a more favourable economic outcome than if the participant were to pay the exercise price in respect of all their Awards;
-
(g) a participant’s Award will expire on the expiry date specified by the Board when the Award is granted.
-
(h) Awards are not transferable;
-
(i) a participant must not enter into any arrangement for the purpose of hedging their economic exposure to an Award that has been granted to them; and
-
(j) Awards will not be quoted on ASX. The Company will make an application to the ASX for official quotation of the Shares (if any) issued to a participant on the exercise of the Awards.
A copy of the LTI Plan can be obtained by contacting the Company secretary.
6.4 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, section 208 of the Corporations Act requires that, if an entity that the public company controls, gives a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The proposed issue of Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Murray, Davey & Harricks are each related parties of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.14 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a Director, an associate of the Director or a person whose relationship with the Director or an associate of the Directors, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.15B applies.
32
Doc ID 674446903/v1
For the reasons set out in section 6.1, the Board considers that the grant of Performance Rights to Messrs Murray, Davey and Harricks is an appropriate and reasonable component of their remuneration, and that the financial benefit represented by the grant of the Performance Rights falls within the "reasonable remuneration" exception in section 211 of the Corporations Act. For this reason, it is unnecessary to seek specific Shareholder approval of Resolutions 5 to 7 for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
6.5 Information required by the ASX Listing Rules
Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.15A, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed issue of Performance Rights:
-
(a) the related parties are John Murray, Ross Harricks and Adam Davey who are related parties by virtue of being directors of the Company;
-
(b) the maximum number of Performance Rights will depend on the VWAP at the relevant time (as detailed in sections 6.1 and 6.2 above) ;
-
(c) the formula for calculating the price per Share is set out in sections 6.1 and 6.2;
-
(d) since the approval of the LTI Plan on 20 November 2018, no Performance Rights have been received by persons who received securities under the LTI Plan;
-
(e) John Murray, Ross Harricks, Adam Davey and Philip Daffas are all the persons entitled to participate in the Performance Rights issued under the LTI Plan;
-
(f) no loan is being given in relation to the issue of the Performance Rights;
-
(g) details of any Performance Rights issued under the LTI Plan will be published in each annual report of the entity relating to a period in which Performance Rights have been issued and that approval for the issue of the Performance Rights was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and any additional persons who become entitled to participate in the LTI Plan after Resolutions 5-8 are approved who were not named in this Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14; and
-
(h) the annual issue of the Performance Rights to Messrs Murray, Davey and Harricks will occur no later than 10 trading days after the date the relevant financial year results are released and in any event, no later than 3 years after the date of this meeting .
6.6 Directors' recommendation
The Directors make the following recommendations:
- (a) Philip Daffas recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 5 to 7;
33
Doc ID 674446903/v1

7. RESOLUTION 8 – APPROVAL OF THE ISSUE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS TO PHILIP DAFFAS
7.1 General
In September 2019, the Company commissioned a review of its chief executive officer ( CEO ) remuneration from an independent remuneration consultant to benchmark current CEO remuneration to comparable companies. The report recommended that the Company’s CEO remuneration be supplemented with an annual grant of $200,000 worth of Performance Rights for the financial years ended 30 June 2020, 2021 and 2022.
The Company will enter into a new agreement with Philip Daffas to increase his fixed and variable cash remuneration to a maximum of $400,000 per annum which together with the proposed $200,000 grant of Performance Rights, will result in total statutory remuneration of $600,000 for FY20. In FY19 total statutory remuneration paid to Philip Daffas was $337,500 (there was no LTI component of his statutory remuneration in FY19 as the original 2016 options were expensed in FY17 and FY18).
The total statutory remuneration of $600,000 for Philip Daffas represents 124% of the median total statutory remuneration of $483,812 benchmark in the Health and IT sector for companies with a market capitalisation of between $50 million and $200 million.
The Company seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Performance Rights to Philip Daffas to the value of $600,000 over the next 3 years with an annual limit of $200,000 for Philip Daffas or his nominee(s) to acquire one Share for each Performance Right held pursuant to the LTI Plan and as part of Philip Daffas' remuneration.
Please refer to section 6.3 of this Notice for a summary of the LTI Plan.
The Performance Rights issued for a year will be issued at the VWAP of the Company’s ordinary shares calculated 5 days either side of and including the date of announcement of the company’s annual statutory results for the financial year preceding the financial year of the grant of the Performance Rights ( Award Issue Price ).
Vesting of the Performance Rights is conditional on the following:
-
(a) 50% of the annual grant of $200,000 worth of Performance Rights will vest two years after the commencement of each vesting period on 1 October of the year of grant, subject to the Company's Share price achieving a compounded annual increase in Share price of 15% p.a. ( Award Target Price ) from the relevant Award Issue Price and provided that Philip Daffas remains employed by the Company at that date (unless he is a Good Leaver as defined in the LTI Plan in which case he retains the relevant pro rata portion of the grant subject to the increase in Share price vesting condition); and
-
(b) 50% of the annual grant of $200,000 worth of Performance Rights will vest three years after the commencement of each vesting period on 1 October of the year of grant, subject to the Company's Share price achieving a compounded annual increase in Share price of 15% p.a. from the relevant Award Issue Price and provided that Philip Daffas
35
Doc ID 674446903/v1
remains employed by the Company on that date (unless he is a Good Leaver as defined in the LTI Plan in which case he retains the relevant pro rata portion of the grant subject to the increase in Share price vesting condition).
The Award Target Price will be calculated based on the 10 days VWAP leading up to and including the relevant vesting date.

7.2 Calculation of the Number of Performance Rights and Vesting Conditions

The following table shows the calculation of the Performance Rights to be issued as part of Philip Daffas’ remuneration for holding office during FY20 and vesting on 1 October 2021 and 1 October 2022, if Philip Daffas remains in office and the relevant Award Target Price is achieved on the relevant vesting date:

7.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, section 208 of the Corporations Act requires that, if an entity that the public company controls, gives a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
The proposed issue of Performance Rights constitutes giving a financial benefit and Philip Daffas is a related party of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
In addition, ASX Listing Rule 10.14 also requires shareholder approval to be obtained where an entity issues, or agrees to issue, securities to a Director, an associate of the Director or a person whose relationship with the Director or an associate of the Directors, in ASX’s opinion, such that approval should be obtained unless an exception in ASX Listing Rule 10.15B applies.

For this reason, it is unnecessary to seek specific Shareholder approval of Resolution 8 for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.

7.6 Directors' recommendation
The Board, with Philip Daffas abstaining on making a recommendation due to his interest in the resolution, recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 8 for the reasons outlined in section 7.1.
8. RESOLUTION 9 - APPROVAL TO INCREASE THE NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION POOL TO $400,000
ASX Listing Rule 10.17 provides that an entity must not increase the total aggregate amount of directors' fees payable to all of its non-executive directors without the approval of holders of its ordinary securities.
Clause 11.14 of the Constitution also requires that remuneration payable to the non-executive Directors will not exceed the sum initially set by the Constitution and subsequently increase by ordinary resolution of Shareholders in a general meeting
The maximum aggregate amount of fees payable to all of the non-executive Directors is currently set at $250,000. Resolution 9 seeks Shareholder approval to increase this figure from $250,000 to $400,000.
In the past 3 years, the Company has issued the following securities to the following Directors:
39
Doc ID 674446903/v1
| Director | ASX Listing Rule 10.11 or 10.14 |
|---|---|
| John Murray | 24,599,497 Options issued on 19 December 2016. |
| Ross Harricks | 12,299,748 Options issued on 19 December 2016. |
| Adam Davey | 12,299,748 Options issued on 19 December 2016. |
The Board is seeking approval to increase the non-executive Director remuneration pool in order to provide sufficient flexibility to be able to attract new Directors should circumstances require. This will become necessary as the Company continues to expand internationally. The current non-executive annual director fees are $120,000, leaving little room to expand the number of directors without an increase in the remuneration pool.
8.1 Directors' recommendation
Given the interest of the non-executive Directors in this Resolution, the Board makes no recommendation to Shareholders regarding this Resolution 9.

9. RESOLUTIONS 10 – AMENDMENT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE 2016 OPTIONS
9.1 General
At the 2016 annual general meeting, shareholders approved the issue of 90,188,155 Options (subject to vesting conditions) to directors exercisable at 2 cents per share and expiring on 24 November 2019. Two thirds (2/3) of the 2016 Options have vested whilst the remaining one third (1/3) vest once the Company generates cumulative revenue of $1 million.
It is the Directors present intention to exercise the 60,132,104 vested 2016 Options prior to their expiry date on 24 November 2019.
The number of 2016 Options applicable to each director is set out as follows:
| Name | Position | Number of Options |
Vested | Unvested |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mr John Murray |
Non- executive Chairman |
24,599,497 | 16,399,665 | 8,199,832 |
| Mr Adam Davey |
Non- executive Director |
12,299,748 | 8,199,832 | 4,099,916 |
| Mr Ross Harricks |
Non- executive Director |
12,299,748 | 8,199,832 | 4,099,916 |
| Mr Philip Daffas |
Managing Director |
40,999,162 | 27,332,775 | 13,666,387 |
| TOTAL | 90,198,155 | 60,132,104 | 30,066,051 |
The 2016 Option terms are set out in Schedule 1. The material terms are:
-
(a) the exercise price is 2 cents per share;
-
(b) the expiry date of each Option shall be 24 November 2019; and
-
(c) the Options have 3 vesting conditions detailed in Schedule 1.
9.1.2 Current vesting condition for unvested 2016 Options
The current vesting condition for unvested options is that the Company generates “cumulative revenue of $1,000,000” by the expiry date of 24 November 2019.
The term “revenue” is not defined in the terms of the Options granted. According to accounting standard AASB 15 “Revenue is income that arises in the course of ordinary activities of an entity and is referred to by a variety of different names including sales, fees, interest, dividends and royalties…”
41
Doc ID 674446903/v1
In the statutory accounts of the Company, “Revenue” includes sales from customers and interest income[4] . “Other Income” is excluded from “Revenue” and includes the R&D tax refund.
Sales revenue is recognised in the statutory accounts of the Company according to AASB 15. The Company’s operates a SaaS business model whereby it charges residential aged care operators ( RACs ) a monthly subscription software license fee based on the number of beds covered by the license. A typical customer contract is for at least 12 months and will agree the number of beds covered by the agreement, and the monthly subscription fee payable per bed once the software licence is delivered and implemented at a RAC facility. Often the agreement covers multiple RAC facilities owned by an operator and implementation of the service is staged over several months based on customer requirements. Even if the customer agrees to pay for the service up front (usually for a minimum of 12 months), revenue is only recognised on a monthly basis once the service is implemented and live at a facility.
At 30 June 2019, the Company's cumulative recognised revenue was $297k including monthly recurring revenue ( MRR ) recognised on 3,564 active beds with an annualised recurring revenue ( ARR ) of $234k. As at 30 June 2019, the Company had contracted 10,590 beds with an annualised contract value of $587k assuming the contracted beds were fully implemented and active as anticipated under the contract.
The Company believes it will be unlikely to be able to achieve a cumulative recognised revenue target of $1 million by 24 November 2019, based on the current expected schedule for implementing the backlog of over 7,000 beds at 30 June 2019 and the rate of sign up and implementation of new customers since that date. This has also been impacted by the delay in finalising the contract with the Federal Government in relation to the $5 million funding support for implementation of PainChek® announced by the Federal Government on 29 April 2019 (see section 9.1.4(a)).
9.1.3 Proposed modification of vesting condition of unvested 2016 Options
Resolutions 10(a), 10(b), 10(c) and 10(d) seeks Shareholder approval to modify the vesting condition of 30,066,051 unvested 2016 Options to the Directors (or nominees) to achieving signed customer contracts with total annualised contracted revenue of at least $1 million by 24 November 2019. Annualised contracted revenue will be calculated based on MRR for contracts with at least a 12 month term, and on the assumption that a contract is fully implemented in accordance with the contract terms and rolled out across all the RAC facilities and beds covered under the contract.
However, the Company has strong underlying market traction and has reasonable expectations of achieving $1 million annualised contracted revenue by 24 November 2019, based on the strong pipeline of local and international business opportunities and assuming the Federal Government contract is signed in October 2019 (see section 9.1.4(a)).

Doc ID 674446903/v1
9.1.4 Financial impact of the modification of vesting condition of Unvested 2016 Options
If the 30,066,051 unvested Options are vested as a result of this modification, the dilution to Shareholders which would otherwise have been avoided is approximately 2.9%[5] .
The Company will incur an additional non-cash, share based payment expense in FY2020 arising from Shareholder approval to modification of the terms of the unvested 30,066,051 Options. The amount of this expense is the increase in fair value of the unvested Options arising from the modification. This increase in fair value is calculated on the difference between the market value of the Company’s shares on the date of approval and the exercise price of 2 cents per Share Option, and the adjusted probability of achieving the modified condition of vesting. If at the date of Shareholder approval, the original condition was not met the unvested Share Options would have a nil fair value. If at the date of approval, the Company has however achieved the modified condition of vesting there will be a 100% probability of achieving the modified vesting condition. Assuming a Share price of 30 cents per Share on the date of approval and that the modified condition of vesting has been met, the unvested Share Options would have a fair value of $8.4m resulting in a non-cash, Share based payment expense of $8.4 million. A change of +/- 25% would have the following results:
| Share price on date of approval | $0.300 | $0.225 | $0.375 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Share based payment expense | $8,418,494 | $6,163,540 |
$10,673,448 |
9.1.5 Rationale for the modification
As outlined in the Company’s Annual Report for FY19, the Company has made significant progress with commercialisation of its technology and development of the business which has led to significant share price increases in the past 6 months.
The purpose of the original condition of vesting for the third tranche of Options was to have a financial milestone providing evidence of the success of commercialising the Company’s technology. The Directors believe that the modified milestone of achieving significant contracted revenue from customers provides similar evidence of commercial success. In addition, there are other indicators of significant commercial progress including:
(a) Securing Australian Government funding for the RAC industry to implement PainChek®
As announced on 29 April 2019 the Morrison Government will invest $5 million to facilitate the implementation of the Company’s PainChek® app in Australian RACs. The funding makes provision for a universal PainChek® access license for the more than 1,000 Residential Aged Care Providers in Australia and their 100,000 residents living with dementia for a one-year period. The contract associated with this announcement between the Company and the government is in the process of being finalised and is currently expected to be signed during October 2019.
5 Based on issued share capital of 937,305,279 in the cleansing notice announced to the ASX on 27 September 2019 expanded for the assumed exercise of 60 million vested 2016 Options.
43
Doc ID 674446903/v1
(b) Expanding into international markets
On 27 May 2019, the Company announced it had signed a UK distribution agreement with Person Centred Software, a leading aged care software provider in the UK. Subsequently the Company’s software has been integrated with PCS software and is being implemented in aged care facilities in the UK.
On 6 August 2019, the Company announced it had received regulatory approval in Singapore for its product, and the signing of a two-year licence agreement with leading Singapore aged care provider, Allium Healthcare Holdings Pte Ltd.
On 5 September 2019, the Company announced the appointment of Mr. Peter Shergill as the Head of Business Development for PainChek UK Ltd commencing on 30 September 2019.
(c)
Integrating with leading care management software for the RAC industry
The Company now has integration agreements finalized with the six major RAC care management systems in Australia and with Person Centred Software in the UK. These agreements facilitate the automated documentation of PainChek® for more than 80% of the 220,000 Australian aged care beds and more than 40,000 beds in the UK. The benefit is rapid, point of care pain assessments that eliminate duplication of effort for carers giving them more time to focus on resident care.
(d) Progress with regulatory approval in the USA
The Company had a positive meeting with the FDA in Washington DC in June 2019 as part of the De Novo regulatory process including the demonstration of the PainChek® Adult App and the AI capability. PainChek® was confirmed as a De Novo classification as there is no other similar regulated medical device in the US market. The existing PainChek® Australian based research data was positively received, and the Company obtained guidance from the FDA in terms of additional validation requirements to complete the De Novo regulatory classification. The Company is currently finalizing the additional validation work for review with FDA which is projected for completion and then approval of the PainChek® Adult App during FY 2020.
(e) Developing the Company’s intellectual property portfolio
On 24 July 2019, the Company announced the Unites States Patent Office has issued a Notice of Allowance for its pain assessment invention. This indicates that patent prosecution has been successfully completed. The patent, when granted, will allow PainChek® to protect the intellectual property of its invention in the United States and provides a platform for growing the brand in international markets.
The US patent gives PainCheck® exclusive rights to exclude others from making, using, selling or importing the invention for 20 years from the filing date in the US (17 February 2017).
44
Doc ID 674446903/v1
(f) Developing the PainChek® Infant App
On 2 July 2019, the Company announced an agreement with Murdoch Children’s Research Institute ( MCRI ), to clinically test a version of the PainChek® App for infants. MCRI is the largest child health research institute in Australia and one of the top three worldwide. The clinical trials are currently projected to be completed in Q3 FY20, and will support applications for regulatory approval of PainChek® Infant’s App with the Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA), CE Mark, Europe, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA.
(g) Raising additional capital and significant increase in share price
On 19 June 2019, the Company announced a successful capital raising of $4.15m at a share price of 14.5 cents compared to the share price of 5 cents at the previous capital raising in September 2017 and 2 cents in September 2016. Subsequent to the June 2019 capital raise, the share price has increased further and at close of business on 27 September 2019 was $0.27.
9.1.6 Summary
The Directors consider that significant progress has been made evidencing commercial success of the Company’s technology, and in building the foundations to achieve sustainable annual recurring revenue above $1 million by the option exercise date. They therefore believe that the CEO and directors should be rewarded for these efforts through modifying the condition of vesting of the third tranche of unvested 2016 Options.
Without Shareholder approval of the amendment of the implied definition of "revenue" from cumulative recognised revenue to annualised contracted revenue value as explained in sections 9.1.1 and 9.1.2, the unvested Options granted to the Directors are unlikely to vest. As outlined in section 9.1.4(a), if the Company executes the federal government contract during October 2019 as currently expected, the Company expects to achieve annualised contracted revenue of $1 million by 24 November 2019.
9.2
ASX Listing Rule 6.23.4
ASX Listing Rule 6.23.4 provides that a change to the terms of the 2016 Options which is not prohibited under the ASX Listing Rules can only be made if holders of ordinary securities approve the change.
9.3
Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act
For a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:
-
(a) obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in Sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and
-
(b) give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,
unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.
45
Doc ID 674446903/v1
The amendment of the implied definition of "revenue" from cumulative recognised revenue to annualised contracted revenue of the unvested 2016 Options constitutes giving a financial benefit and Messrs Murray, Davey, Harricks and Daffas are each related parties of the Company by virtue of being a Director.
It is the view of the Directors that the exceptions set out in Sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act do not apply in the current circumstances. Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the grant of the 2016 Options to the Directors (or their respective nominees).
9.4 Shareholder Approval (Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act)
Pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of Section 219 of the Corporations Act, the following information is provided in relation to the proposed change of the implied definition of "revenue" of the terms and conditions of the 2016 Options:

-
(k) with the exception of each Directors’ respective approval resolution, no other Director has a personal interest in the outcome of that resolution;

9.5 Dilution
Set out below is a worked example of the number of Shares that may be issued upon exercise of the Options issued under Resolutions 10(a), 10(b), 10(c) and 10(d).
| Deemed issue price |
Maximum number of Shares which would be issued following exercise of the unvested 2016 Options pursuant to Resolutions 10(a), 10(b), 10(c) and 10(d) |
Current Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice plus vested 2016 Options |
Number of Shares on issue following exercise of the unvested 2016 Options pursuant to Resolutions 10(a), 10(b), 10(c) and 10(d) |

1,005,353,435 | 3% |
Assuming no Options are exercised, no other Shares issued and the maximum number of Shares as set out in the worked example above are issued upon exercise of the 2016 Options, the number of Shares on issue would increase from 915,155,279 (being the number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Notice) to 1,005,353,435 and the shareholding of existing Shareholders would be diluted by 3%.

SCHEDULE 2 – VALUATION OF UNVESTED 2016 OPTIONS
Table 1 – Unvested Option valuation details
The below table assumes a Share price of 30 cents per Share on the date of approval and that the modified condition of vesting has been met, +/- 25%:
| Details | Input | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Share price | $0.30 | $0.225 | $0.375 |
| Exercise Price | $0.02 | $0.02 | $0.02 |

| Value per Option | $0.28 | $0.205 | $0.355 |
The value per Option has been assessed by the Directors as the increase in fair value of the unvested Options arising from the modification. This increase in fair value is calculated on the difference between the market value of the Company’s Shares on the date of approval and the exercise price of 2 cents per Share Option, and the adjusted probability of achieving the modified condition of vesting.

If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a securityholder of the company. Do not write the name of the issuer company or the registered securityholder in the space.
Appointment of a Second Proxy
You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the company’s securities registry or you may copy this form.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities your vote on that item will be invalid.
